AN ALLEGED MURDER.
Lunenburg People Want Detective
40 Investigate.

Governor Lee yesterday received a
letter signed by cOlored citizens Of
Lunenburg county, in which they COM
planned that there were strong rea-
sons for believing that most cruel and
cold-blooded murder had been perpe-
trated recently in their midst by parties
unknown, thus far, as to positive proof.
The colored man Lee Gee, whose mur-
der is thus suspected, has been missing
from the community since the time Of
the report Of his assassination in the
nighttime and the corpse clandes-
timely made away with or secreted.
Investigation but increases suspicion
that he has been foully and brutally
dealt with. AT the place of his alleged
murder blood-marks are there visible.
The county officers have utterly failed
to 90 anything, although nearly two
months have elapsed since this muir
der"
The petition closes by asking the
Governor to send a detective to investi-
gate the case but he has none to send.

An Appeal for Charity.

By the late fire in Fulton a number
of very worthy working people were
left in uncomfortable circumstances.
Among those who lost all they had were
Mr. r. Throgmorton and Mr.. johnson.
These parties were left destitute. The
former lost his horse and wagon, upon
which he depended for support. These
cases are deserving. If any one has
any contributions of food, old clothing,
small sum of money, or anything
that can make glad the heart or relieve
the wants of these men, their wives,
and children, and will leave such with
Christian & White, they will be deliv-
cred to the parties. 1t is hoped that
this appeal will not be in vain.
